message:
  A fix and a test case for Bug#45035 "Altering table under LOCK TABLES
  results in "Error 1213 Deadlock found...".

  If a user had a table locked with LOCK TABLES
  for READ and for WRITE in the same connection, ALTER TABLE
  could fail.

  Root cause analysis:

  If a connection issues

  LOCK TABLE t1 write, t1 a read, t1 b read;

  the new LOCK TABLES code in 6.0 (part of WL 3726) will create
  the following list of TABLE_LIST objects
  (thd->locked_tables_list->m_locked_tables):

  {"t1" "b" tl_read_no_insert}, {"t1" "a" tl_read_no_insert},
  {"t1" "t1" tl_write }

  Later on, when we try to ALTER table t1, mysql_alter_table()
  closes all TABLE instances and releases its thr_lock locks,
  keeping only an exclusive metadata lock on t1.

  But when ALTER is finished, Locked_table_list::reopen_tables()
  tries to restore the original list of open and locked tables.

  Before this patch, it used to do so one by one:
  Open t1 b, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock,
  Open t1 a, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock
  Open t1, try to get TL_WRITE lock, deadlock.

  The cause of the deadlock is that thr_lock.c doesn't
  resolve the situation when the read list only consists
  of locks taken by the same thread, followed by this very
  thread trying to take a WRITE lock. Indeed, since
  thr_lock_multi always gets a sorted list of locks,
  WRITE locks always precede READ locks in the list
  to lock.

  Don't try to fix thr_lock.c deficiency, keep this
  code simple.
  Instead, try to take all thr_lock locks at once
  in ::reopen_tables().


mysql-test/r/lock.result:
  Update results: test case for Bug#45035.
mysql-test/t/lock.test:
  Add a test case for Bug#45035.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Take all thr_lock locks at once in Locked_tables_list::reopen_tables().
sql/sql_class.h:
  Add a helper array to store tables for mysql_lock_tables()
  in reopen_tables().
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Update unlink_all_closed_tables() to the new signature.

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.

Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not
conflict with it.

All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please
read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the
problem:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html

If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests,
use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode,
the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run.
For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests
with an external server:

mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze

To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and
other relevant options.

With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back
to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some
tests cannot run with an external server.


You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new
file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test
extension. For example:

 xemacs t/test_case_name.test

 In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables,
 load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it.

 We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not
 conflict too much with existing tables).

 Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and
 end by dropping them again.  This ensures that you can run the test over
 and over again.
 
 If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your
 test case, you should create the result file as follows:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 or

 mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test

 If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and
 comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result

 mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test

 When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result
 - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should
   edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify
   that the bug is corrected in future releases.

To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into
a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the 
archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail
to bugs@lists.mysql.com
